69' Dodge Dart Resto/Upgrade in NY

Removed rod caps and the crank.
How can you tell if it is forged or cast?

I never thought these pistons would ever come out.
Managed to pound out (with wood dowel) all 4 pistons on the passenger side of the engine.
Cylinders don't look too bad. Very exciting! This engine might be savable after all.

Be sure to keep you rod caps with the same rods that they came from. They may or may not be stamped numbered.
